Indonesia triumphed over Bangladesh with a stunning 9-2 scoreline, securing their place in the FIFA ASEAN

Indonesia has made headlines by defeating Bangladesh 9-2 in a thrilling match of the FIFA ASEAN Cup, securing their spot in the final. The home team displayed an aggressive offensive strategy right from the start, scoring their first goal just 11 minutes into the game. A throw-in by Kevi Diks set up Romeny, who assisted Mitchell Baker for a precise shot that found the back of the net.
Indonesia's relentless attack continued, with Baker scoring a total of five goals throughout the match. Just nine minutes after the opener, Baker doubled the lead by using his height advantage to push the ball into the net after a blocked shot from Oratmangoen. The home side maintained their pressure, and by the 32nd minute, Rizky Ridho added another goal, striking the ball powerfully into the net after a rebound.
Despite Indonesia's dominance, Bangladesh managed to score a goal through Shahriar Emon, who found the net with a header from a counterattack. However, Indonesia responded quickly, with Baker completing his hat-trick just two minutes later, followed by another goal from Baker before halftime, making it 6-1 at the break.
In the second half, Indonesia continued to press, but Bangladesh's defense became more resolute. The match saw some tense moments, including a disallowed goal for Indonesia due to offside. As the game progressed, Bangladesh improved their performance, and Wahid scored another goal for them in the dying minutes.
Indonesia's final goals came from Kevin Diks and Baker, sealing the match at 9-2. With this victory, Indonesia topped Group A and will face Thailand in the final of the FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026. Meanwhile, Malaysia, who won against Singapore 6-0, will compete for third place.
